Watch this song played
Las Mañanitas is Mexico's traditional birthday serenade, played at dawn to honor someone special on their special day. On the steel tongue drum its gentle, flowing melody sounds like a warm morning greeting, each note glowing with affection. Simple quarter-note phrasing and a moderate tempo make it ideal for beginners celebrating music and loved ones alike.
How to play Las Mañanitas on a tongue drum
The numbers above are the standard tongue-drum number notation. Each digit is a note of the C Major scale, counting up from the lowest tongue. A dot above a number raises it one octave; a dot below lowers it. The small teal letters show the matching key in the Tongue Drum Online player.
Start slowly, one phrase at a time. Let each note ring out fully before striking the next — the long decay is the whole character of the instrument. This is a beginner arrangement and a simplified, single-instrument version of Las Mañanitas.
